ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JUNE 15, 2020 11 <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson commented regarding North Heights Lutheran Church located at 1700 W <br />Highway 96 (Precinct 3), it was generally felt that the location’s room worked well but that better <br />signage routing voters from Highway 96 along the drive leading to the parking area were <br />necessary. She said one concern was raised about the Presbyterian Church of the Way (Precinct 1) <br />in that some Shoreview residents indicated that they had received a mailing indicating this was <br />their polling location. <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson stated in addition, curbside voting and how that option would potentially <br />function was a question expressed by some election judges. <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson reported RCEO staff indicated that based on the need for a larger space at <br />Precinct 2 - Anderson Center – Bethel Satellite Campus, voting will take place in a much larger <br />room that is located on the “second” floor; bit it is important to note that technically the main <br />entrance is considered to be the building’s third floor, which means the room we will be using is <br />actually on the fourth floor. There are several elevators available immediately in the front entrance <br />and we have been assured ample signage will be in place to direct voters to the appropriate level. <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson explained regarding curbside voting that RCEO staff stated they are working <br />closely with the State’s Election Task Force and Public Health. <br /> <br />City Clerk Hanson also stated that voting by mail was being promoted by both the city and <br />Ramsey County Elections. <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault explained curbside voting would be addressed and offered by <br />Ramsey County. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant commented on the area of Shoreview that was sent information telling these <br />residents to vote in Arden Hills. He wanted to be assured that police calls to this portion of <br />Shoreview were not being charged to Arden Hills. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden recommended the City encouraged residents to vote using absentee <br />ballots this year for the primary and general elections. <br /> <br />G. COVID-19 Operations Update <br /> <br />This item was pulled from the agenda. <br /> <br />H. Council Tracker <br /> <br />City Administrator Perrault reviewed the Council Tracker with the City Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden requested the work being done on the tennis courts be included in the <br />admin update. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
